What's it?

PIMENTON Now you can taste that history that is "Pimenton de la Vera."
"Capsicum Annum" is the Latin name for the "Pimenton" species. "Cerasiforme" and "Longum" are the Latin name for the subspecies. These three species provide the harvest of three types of pimentos:

sweet
hot
bittersweet.
 
The microclimate of the region of de la Vera, its ancestrial history, and the knowledge transended from generation to generation have made available to us a jewel of nature. This jewel serves as an indispensible condiment and a characteristic flavor for all meat dishes and more.
